Changing the PPI tag in the image file is *not* what changes the print.
yes it does.
Poor nospam. We can post 30 different identical copies of an image file, with only the PPI tag being different. Anything from 7 to 7000 will do. When loaded into an editor... the image data will be exactly the same for every one of them.
that's what i said originally, then you said ppi applies to displays. now you say it doesn't. hilarious.
Each and every monitor operates at a given PPI. So does each and every printer.
The tag in the image file,
1) has no effect at all on the monitor, and
2) has no effect at all on the printer, and
3) has no effect at all on the editor, and
4) has no effect at all on the image.
It doesn't do a thing.Floyd L. Davidsonnospam
Because chaning the PPI tage in the image file does nothing.
it does when printing, which is what i said.
Set the Exif tag to 72, 360, 720, or 7200 and then tell the print driver to make an 8x10 print. It will, but it will run at it's own PPI rate, not the one set in the Exif tag.
